Funny Pictures & a Giveaway Winner!

I received a lot of really ugly (great) pictures. The moral of the story here is that it's important to just relax and laugh at yourself once in a while. Also, running isn't always a glorious sport. We sweat until a block of salt forms on our foreheads, we lose toenails, our faces turn red, etc. Congrats to all of you who pushed yourselves during your race and ended up with a ridiculous picture. Even bigger congrats to those of you who pushed yourselves and managed to look good doing it (send a sister your tips fo' real).

Here are the pictures of those who entered:

Not sure why this won't rotate, but her expression is priceless. Looks like the time of her life!

Self-labeled "alien face"

Sweat-tastic!

It takes skill to run with your eyes closed

She's about to cry...for everyone who she is leavin in the dust!

I gotta learn how to do the "evil eye" to anyone who cuts me off at the beginning of a race

Up close and personal!

Dude...I'm always that happy when I cross the finish line

Apparently medical masks don't help during races when it's 3 degrees outside... she just thought you should know

Oh heck yes. I have so many pictures like this.

I think she's saying something like "I'll kill someone if it gets one degree hotter out here"

I have no words for this. Just plain awesome.

It's seriously impossible for some of us to smile while running...we're going to try though!

Those darn home stretches are so tough!

Work it girl!

The classic flamingo picture

Nothin' ugly bout mud folks.

In my opinion you are all awesome and I wish I had something to give everyone. random.org is probably easy, but writing all your names on bright colored paper seemed more fun:

I so meant to enter this....just didn't end up having the time to sort through some of my pics. These were all great....and not really all that bad. Fun idea though. It makes you feel less bad about your own horrible race pics.
